Plastic bags are bad for the environment for many reasons, which include:
* they are not biodegradable, Instead, they break up into smaller pieces of plastic until eventually becoming plastics dusts.
* people may lose them causing them to blow around (litter)
* they are dangerous to small children
* animals that ingest them may become sick and / or die
* making them contribute to the global emissions.
* can end up at sea through garbage dumps at seaside
* they are RECYCLABLE but people need to take them and reuse them or donate them to thrift stores to be reused versus throwing them away
* it takes oil to produce them and it takes more oil to recycle them than it does to produce
* Burning plastic results in air pollution and toxic ash.
